For making it a public issue:
That shows some sanity in police Administration

oluseg2: The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Drugs/Narcotics and Financial Crimes, Mr. Adams Jagaba, on Tuesday opened up on the $620,000 bribe allegedly collected by Mr. Farouk Lawan from businessman, Femi Otedola.

Jagaba, whose committee oversees the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, wrote the Speaker of the House, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, denying to be in possession of the exhibit.

Part of the letter, dated June 19, which The PUNCH obtained on Tuesday, reads, “I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that there was never a time I was in possession of the sum of $620,000 or any other exhibits (in my personal capacity or official capacity as Chairman, House Committee on Drugs/Narcotics and Financial Crimes) relating to the subject matter of the above investigation.

“I hope this explanation lays to rest once and for all the claims that I or my committee is in possession of the sum of $620,000 purportedly given as bribe to the Ad-Hoc Committee on Monitoring of Fuel Subsidy Regime.”

Findings indicated that Jagaba was responding to a directive by Tambuwal asking him to respond to a letter from the office of the Inspector-General of Police.

The letter from the IG’s office was signed by the Commissioner of Police, Special Task Force on Subsidy Bribe Investigation, Mr. Ali Amodu.

It requested Tambuwal to retrieve and submit to the police, “the sum of $620,000, which Farouk Lawan admitted to have collected from a marketer and handed over to the House Committees on Financial Crimes and Anti-Corruption.”

The letter was dated June 15 and carried a reference number, CR:3000/IGP.SEC/STF/FHQ/ABJ/VOL.2/373.

On the other hand, the speaker’s letter to Jagaba was signed by his Special Adviser (Legal&Legislative), Mr. Chile Igbawua.

Tambuwal simply forwarded the IG’s letter to Jagaba with his own letter, directing him to respond to the issue raised therein.

The letter with reference number, NASS/SPK/LEG/VOL.II/294, stated, “The content of the said letter (IG’s) is self-explanatory and the Honourable Speaker has directed that you react urgently to the request in paragraph 1(I) Therefore to facilitate his action.”

As the development unfolded, the Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Information Communication Technology, Mr. Yusuf Tajudeen, commended President Goodluck Jonathan and Tambuwal for their commitment to implementing the report of the subsidy probe.

Tajudeen, who represents Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency of Kogi State, said it was heartwarming that Jonathan promised the nation not to sweep the report under the carpet.

Meanwhile, some youths staged a protest at the gate of the National Assembly on Tuesday demanding detailed investigation into the bribery scandal.

Their coordinator, Mr. Solomon Adodo, said Nigerian youths were unhappy with developments at the National Assembly.

http://www.punchng.com/news/jagaba-denies-collecting-620000-bribe-from-lawan/

I think the above captioned will explained better to those still having believe that Farouq Lawan never collected the said money for personal gain..

queensmith: so whats gonna happen to the companies implicated in the subsidy scandal? and why did they even bother to trick this man? It doesn't make any sense, are they trying to discredit the panel?
It's unprofessional to indulge in such at a crucial time like this, resources should have been focused on getting to the bottom of things not conjuring up more scandals when other matters remain unresolved.
Nigeria sha, they know how to dramatize things.

Before the Saga, i Love Lawan approach to issues.. and will not support him in this issue.. let him clear himself. and precise he is deeply involve..

Those that cried Foul over the rename are just doing that based on special hatred to GEJ..
If he renamed it Yaradua u will want to kill him...

and to the ill-fated DANA Air.. so many people were pointing accusing finger to him..
When Belview and Sosoliso Crashed... OBJ was not accused..
My Condolence...........

Politics.. Playing Politics with reality, will not make us Grow as a NATION..

@ Comments...

The Call for state is not due to neglects.. the Calls are not sincere... a state like Gombe has 11 local Govt. with Gombe Central been represented in the Senate by Danjuma Goje having two local Govt. ( Yamaltu-Deba and Akor LGA)

by the time 14v state is carved out of Nigerdelta.. we will have State with just 4 Local Govt.

Let continue with this present numbers of State.

No Justification for this CALL..

Ogbomoso is not in Osun State.. Ogbomoso is in Oyo State.

•Oyo ACN: associating with Obasanjo disastrous

Former Oyo State Governor Rashidi Ladoja yesterday got an elderly counselling from her mother over the plan by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to woo him back. The elderly woman urged not to return to the party.

The warning came on the heels of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s visit to Ladoja’s Bodija, Ibadan, home. The former President wanted Ladoja to woo him on Monday.

Obasanjo, in company of some factional leaders of the party in Oyo State, had visited Ladoja to finalise a merger talk between his Accord Party (AA) and the PDP in Oyo State. But the former governot, sources said, was yet to bulge.

A source close to the Ladoa family told The Nation yesterday that over 70 per cent of Ladoja’s supporters opposed his plan to return to the PDP. The source added that some of his supporters told Ladoja’s mother about the plan, when they heard that Obasanjo wanted to visit Ladoja’s wife, Mutiyat.

Obasanjo had reportedly called Mutiyat at the weekend and intimated her with his plan to eat pounded yam at the family house on Monday. She reportedly promised to inform her husband.

It was learnt that many of Ladoja’s supporters opposed the visit. They were said to have recalled that it was pounded yam that Obasanjo ate at Chief Audu Ogbe’s and Senator Chuba Okadigbo’s homes that led to the revelation of the former President’s hostility to them.

Ladoja, sources said, has a lot of respect for his octogenarian mother, which was why his supporters urged her to prevail on him.

The elderly woman was said to have had a deep discussion with him on Obasanjo’s visit, reminding her son of how she spent three days in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, to beg Obasanjo not to remove him (Ladoja) from office in 2005. Obasanjo, she recalled, refused to dignify her with an audience, despite her age.

The Nation learnt that the former governor may not return to the PDP because of his political working relationship and agreement with his cousin, Governor Abiola Ajmobi.

The source added that Laoja told Obasanjo that the plan to return him to the PDP had become impossible with the appointment of about 100 of his supporters into different offices in the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) government in Oyo State.

It quoted Ladoja as saying: “I told him (Obasanjo) that if I decide to join the PDP today, I will lose all these, people because they will not follow me. I will become a general without soldiers.”

THE Oyo State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has warned the Accord Party (AA) leader and former Governor Rashidi Ladoja to beware of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

It likened the former President to a viper, which though looks beautiful outwardly but could be a deadly baggage to carry.

In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Dauda Kolawole, the party urged Ladoja to be cautious of his association with the former President.

According to the party, Obasanjo’s visit to Ladoja was an ill-wind that could only lead to disaster for the former governor, if he abandons a party he helped to build and join a party whose runners were traditional vipers, scorpions and those who have run Nigeria aground for decades.

The ACN drew Ladoja’s attention to the fact that Obasanjo, who now appears as a worthy bride, supervised and choreographed his illegal impeachment as governor.

The former President also “supplanted him (Ladoja) with his deputy, whom the ACN said was “a total antithesis of and indeed destroyed all that Ladoja stands for in politics”.

ACN said: “The intention of Obasanjo in bringing Ladoja back to the PDP, we hope Ladoja knows, is not because he likes the former governor. Obasanjo knows that with his highly discredited name, he can never win a single election in the Southwest. He is aware that the regime he foisted on Oyo State after Ladoja can only be likened to that of armed robbers’ invasion. Even though he was a recipient of some of the heists, deep within him, he is aware of the quality of that government. He only needs Ladoja’s name and clout to gain legitimacy and, immediately this is achieved, he will bare his age-long fang.”.

While warning Ladoja to remember the Jamaican reggae star, Bob Marley’s admonition that it is better to live in a house of peace with you at the top than to live in a house full of confusion, the ACN admonished Ladoja to sleep and hear what his pillow tells him at night.

“It is only Ladoja’s pillows that can tell him the truth. He should go to sleep and listen to his pillows. Those who came to him are his enemies. Ladoja should reflect on that day when, as a sitting governor, Obasanjo barred him from entering Papa Emmanuel Alayande’s house. He should reflect on the long history of treachery and Machiavellian disposition of Obasanjo. Obasanjo is inherently evil and does not have a forgiving spirit. Ladoja should reflect on the path that the former President has trod, which is full of the skeletons of the people he used and stabbed at a time when they relied on him. He should reflect on an anthropologist’s submission on Obasanjo that the former President can only be likened to a typical African witch who, the more good you do to him, the more evil it breeds from him,” the party said.

ACN urged the Accord Party leader to cooperate with the Oyo State Government in rebuilding the state.

It added that being a very deep thinker, Ladoja would know that any association or promise from Obasanjo can only be temporary and selfish because abandoning his supporters for the PDP was akin to committing political suicide.

Remember Bola Oge, he dined and wined with the devil, today Bola Ige is now history. OBJ visited the inlaw of Yusuf the late Boko Haram leader, the following day he was assisinated. If I hear say OBJ dey visit my street, I will pick race. Ladoja now you are the beutiful bribe, just becos you now command the respect of the some people. A word is enough for the wise. Your mother has spoken and she has spoken well.

To OBJ, he should answer this question, he spent 8 years in government, he should please point to significant development he did for the south west. Our own Senator Ogunlewe was minister for works, yet not a a half kilometer was constructed in his home town IKorodu. When ask, Ogunlewe said,"what I am seeing, you are not seing it" Whatever you are seeing, Governor Maruwa saw the same thing and his government dualised Lagos/Ikorodu road.

Ladoja should remember how OBJ used the same tactics to destroy Atiku
How he used the same tactics to dislodge Osoba as governor
Same was used for the late former senate president.
What is Obasanjo's achievements or credibility despite all the opportunities he has. He was only looking for relevancy which he will never get before he goes to the great beyound

We are all aware of the evils Obasanjo represents as stated above. They are all correct. If I may ask, what good opposite to evil has the ACN governments in all southwest done exxcept in Lagos with Fashola whose goodness was used to capture the Southwest. Ajimobi has come out with a phodoo minimum wage table which workers have been contesting and have been on strike for. This is the same Ajimobi who campaigined that He would pay twice the minimum wage if elected.deceitfully, He was elected but here we are.

The same non performance goes for Aregbesola in Osun State who has even been there for about 2 years with nothing to show for the twice Oyinlola's revenue collected from the Federation Account. at a time He promised to commence road construction at dry season claiming to have saved N29 billion for the exercise. The dry season is gone, the rainy season is here with nothing.

Aregbesola has also closed down the medical school at the Osun State University throwing students whose parents have paid school fees diligently for 3 to 4 years and who have also passed all their examinations into admission seeking market. All we have been hearing is grammar, grammar grammar, criticism, crriticism criticism with no performance.

We just celebrated the great Asiwaju's 60th birthday. We would not have celebrated the visionary and exemplary leader had He not performed creditably well to the satisfaction of humanity. Asiwaju Akanbi, abawon wi nibiti won ton ndana iro fought the military to stand still at the risk of his life, Tinubu fought the dictatorial tendencies of this wicked Obasanjo and performed well in the office crowning that performance by giving the Lagosians a credible successor like Fashola.

ACN governors are hereby called to perform like Fashola and Tinubu.Forget about the ghosts of PDP. PDP is gone for ever in the southwest. we now want to see what these ACN governors are up to in terms of performance.

ladoja mother despite her age when to see obj as emperor then in 2005 to save her son from impeachment, the old woman stayed three days and obj being a mini god then refused to dignified the woman with his presence. IN 2006 ladoja was impeached and ogbomosho michael jackson in the person of alaka took over. If obj had come alone i would have given it a thought, but since he added pounded yam to it, ladoja should get across to audu ogbe and ask his the benefits of eathing pounded yam with obj.

The PDP is only looking for someone to use as a platform to get back into government house in Oyo State. Ladoja had better listen and hearken to the voice of his aged mother. I say so because what an elderly person sees sitting down can only be seen by the younger one when he climbs up a tree. He is better off doing business with ACN with a track record of development and sound welfare programmes for the citizens of the state. May God deliver this nation from the strangle hold of the PDP.

Nigeria gets 88 new ambassadors
Share This

The Minister of foreign affairs Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru has called for an adjustment of the nation’s foreign policy to address current global trends and challenges including security concerns in the sub-region.

Mr. Ashiru noted that the nation’s foreign policy must also reflect a greater percentage of national interests that will help eradicate poverty and boost economic progress.

The Minister made the remarks while addressing 88 new ambassadors being inducted for foreign postings.

He urged them to pursue robust multi-lateral and bi-lateral relations with the international community to attract foreign investment to the country.

However, the Permanent Secretary of foreign affairs Ministry, Martin Uhomoibhi cautioned the diplomats that representing one’s country as an Ambassador is “certainly a far cry from enjoying the sights and sounds of a foreign country like a tourist.”

President GoodluckJjonathan in December 2011 submitted a list of 32 non-career and 56 career Ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.

Some of the nominees include; the former minister of foreign affairs, Ojo Madueke, widow of the late Biafra leader, Bianca Ojukwu, former senior special assistant to the president on diaspora affairs, and former Minister of Aviation, Fidelia Njeze.

The 88 newly appointed ambassadors were at an induction ceremony in Abuja to take on their diplomatic missions as soon as they receive their foreign postings.

The Minister of foreign affairs also called for the protection of the interests and rights of Nigerians in diaspora. He called for high performance and productive diplomatic relations.

Economic progress has been the focus of this administration, though many Nigerians say they are yet to see the fruits of the efforts. Perhaps stronger bi-lateral and multi-lateral ties with other countries will attract the much needed foreign investors.

Nigeria has witnessed a number of diplomatic row in recent weeks which ranges from the spat with South Africa over the deportation of 125 Nigerians over fake yellow fever vaccination card and the killing of a Briton and Italian during a botched rescue mission in Sokoto.

@ tOPIC

WE DEY WATCH OOOO

Sagamite:

For all these moronic and outrageous demands for money I think courts should start reducing compensation award rulings by N10K for every million naira of the lawsuit demand over the final court award.

So if you go to court and sue someone for N103m for slapping you and you are awarded only N3m, then you automatically are fined 100 X N10K = N1m. So you only get N2m to go home with for your mockery of the justice system.

N15bn for what? For stopping you entering a city? How did they do that calculation. They should be punished for moronic demands.

wHO IS THE slowpoke ?

Gunmen kill three police officers in Kano attacks
Share This

At least three police officers were killed on Monday when unidentified gunmen invaded the residence of the Kano state police commissioner at the Chiranchi Dorayi quarters along Panshekara road, reports said.

Others were injured in the attack which took place on Monday afternoon. The gunmen had stormed the premises of the senior police official and opened fire outside the residence, killing two officers standing guard at the gates.

Eye witnesses report seeing three gunmen, two of them on a motorcycle had come in from the alley, while the third had approached from the main road on foot.

Residents fled to safety to avoid getting caught in the cross fire, the eye witness reported, adding that two other policemen were felled in the shooting.

All three gunmen eventually ran out of ammunition, taking off on foot through back alleys as some passers-by attempted to capture them.

Kano state police spokesman ASP Magaji Musa Majia confirmed the incident, adding that the area has been cordoned off by police. He denied reports that four police officers were killed, claiming instead that two policemen were killed while the other two officers sustained serious injuries.

Nigeria’s radical Islamic sect Boko Haram sect has claimed attacks on security personnel, including the multiple bomb attacks in Kano targeting security posts that left at least 185 people dead earlier this year.

@ Demem,

u no just understand at all,

The Northern Big got sgud nt ve make such statement

an Extract from

Enough of this insult – Reps, MEND
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/03/enough-of-this-insult-reps-mend/

S-South deserves apology for the insult — Osula

Hon Arigbe Osula asserted in an interview: “Decades of irreparable damages done to the Niger-Delta region by years of gross neglect by the military, whose leadership were mostly Northerners cannot be compensated for by a few years of marginally improved revenue represented by just 13 per cent revenue derivation.”

He continued: “What the Nigerian state has done to this region is a criminal destruction of unimaginable proportion, which will continue to have infinite consequences on all imaginable lives.

“In the face of the absolute tragedy which oil and gas discovery and exploration have been to the people of the oil and gas producing area, it is deeply disturbing to note the contention of the Northern Governors questioning of the meager and sorry current revenue derivation formula which is very insulting to the people of the region compare to the disastrous consequences it has foisted on them.

“It is even more painful when you compare this formula with historical antecedent of past formulae used when groundnut and cocoa were our major sources of revenue without the attendant adverse effect of oil exploration in the name of national revenue generation.”
